Speaker 2: One of the biggest global superstars? Like, because you know,
Speaker 2: Africa in itself, I believe it's a global country. The
Speaker 2: music that comes from Africa goes globally. I would say
Speaker 2: United States music, it can go globally, but for some reason,
Speaker 2: when music comes out of Africa, bro, like it literally
Speaker 2: goes around the world.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because so diverse, because even if you look at
Speaker 3: like even I'm wrong, No, no, you're right, you're right right,
Speaker 3: like I've been I'm talking about. We be in America
Speaker 3: and then okay, just just just an example, I don't
Speaker 3: want to say who. Let me just be an example
Speaker 3: big a least a list artists in America that we
Speaker 3: do a show. Let's just say it's a summer jab
Speaker 3: in America, and then it's like they big. I'm big too,
Speaker 3: but like it's your it's your time, you got it.
Speaker 3: And then we get out the country and I'm like, yeah, yo,
Speaker 3: it was It's an exact situation that happened like that.
Speaker 3: I don't want to say who because my dog, but
Speaker 3: it was in America and whatever whatever happened. Then we
Speaker 3: got to Europe and then he's seen it like it's
Speaker 3: his city, like he's like, yo, I ain't going to
Speaker 3: I ain't going, I ain't going after the I'm going
Speaker 3: before him.
Speaker 1: So it be it'd be diverse.
Speaker 3: And even when like y G. Marley came to Nigeria.
Speaker 3: You know, he's on my first record, I will care record,
Speaker 3: I told you, and he came back home and he
Speaker 3: was just like seeing the love and how we live

Speaker 3: doing this from a scratch, like we bring from a scratch.
Speaker 3: And also a lot of people there's a lot of
Speaker 3: Africans around the world. Everywhere you go. Everybody got an
Speaker 3: African friend. It's African food everywhere. It's just the culture
Speaker 3: is just growing as a whole and people just want
